Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

"Don't worry, rabbit. You are safe until you keep your mouth shut."
"Don't call me rabbit! Give me my powers back! I am like this useless ball of cotton who cannot do anything but act dead!" Barron whispered shouted at him while clutching his hands, "Do you hear me?" Barron smacked his hand against the butler's legs that was bearly felt by Lucas.
"I don't trust you," Lucas' straight words had Barron stop as if he were hurt and he quickly ran to catch up with Lucas.
"We are supposed to be partners! How can you say that?!" demanded Barron, his feet stomping on the ground that didn't make noise, "How many have you killed, huh? What if the mistress finds out about it?"
"She will be alright. She's a big girl." Barron knew Lucas was bluffing. The mortals never took the death that easily! The girl would flip and maybe even stop liking this one. Ha! That would be good, "She's too good for you, it will be right if she finds out!"
